On the Lagrangian capacity of convex or concave toric domains

Abstract

We establish computational results concerning the Lagrangian capacity, originally defined by Cieliebak-Mohnke. More precisely, we show that the Lagrangian capacity of a 4-dimensional convex toric domain is equal to its diagonal. Working under the assumption that there is a suitable virtual perturbation scheme which defines the curve counts of linearized contact homology, we extend the previous result to any convex or concave toric domain. This result gives a positive answer to a conjecture of Cieliebak-Mohnke for the Lagrangian capacity of the ellipsoid.
